An ultrasound hyperthermia system transducer, extracorporeal is a component of a therapeutic ultrasound system designed to deliver focused sound waves that generate heat within targeted tissues. It is positioned outside the patient’s body and used to produce localized or systemic heating for therapeutic purposes, such as in oncology or pain management applications.
This transducer assembly is a reusable part of the larger hyperthermia system and is typically mounted on a gantry, suspension arm, or housing to allow precise external positioning. It contains piezoelectric elements, backing, damping, and matching layers to efficiently transmit ultrasound energy, and its design enables repeated use after appropriate cleaning and disinfection between patients.
